The Indian summary of 1,849 runs in the first two tests of this series is now the highest team in the first two matches of the test series, underlines their dominance of the batting and sets the tone for the series it will remember.The Indian total amount came from the score of 587 of all in the first shifts and 427/6 announced in the second, which was England to build a Gargantuan goal of the 608-Duhou Supreme India when it set in the fourth shift and the second highest England was asked to pursue at home.This historical performance was built on the back of the stellar batting. In the first shifts, Captain Shaubman Gill led the 269 championship, thoroughly supported by Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar (42). Previously, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 87 and Karun Nair’s 31 laid a foundation after a shaky start.England fought back through the sensational 303-run stand between Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184*), but Mohammed Siraj (6/70) and Akash Deep (4/88) turned the game with a new ball and brought together England for 407.India then triggered a blistering counterattack. Gill (161) and Jadeja (69*) intervened again in the second shift, while Rishabh Pant (65) and Kl Rahul (55) supplied the portraits of Quickfire to push through India around 1000 brands before they declared themselves.
